Mrs. Miller,s Bulldog.
NAN CHARGED IN THE POLICE COURT WITH GIVING



Peter Gramlick, German, living at No. 1907
New jersey avenue northwest, was before the Po-
lice Court this morning charged with cruelty to
animals. II was charged that he poisoned dog
belonging to Mrs. Martha Miller, who occupies
rooms In the same house. Mrs. Miller testified
that on the 18th Of February the defendant threat
ened TO get rid OF her thoroughbred bulldog. Last
Saturday evening, she said, he mixed poison and
gave IL TO her dog. Witness went down to the
dog and secured some OF the mixture, which she
afterwards had analysed, and found that 1t was
arsenic. The dog died In commissions half an hour
after he had eaten the mixture.
DIR. Rodgers was called to prove that the sub
stance contained arsenic, but he said he had not
analysed II, but merely said he supposed it must
have contained arsenic. The proof offered failed
TO show that poison was given the dog by the de.
Iendant, and the case was dismissed.
